Hi guys just made a horizontal fader in knobman to use in a touch screen project im working on, right heres the problem ive loaded in fine as an animated knob, changed the Drag-y module for a Drag-x module in Control module of the animated knob and hey presto it works... but in reverse when i click the mouse and drag left the fader goes right and vice versa, i know its gonna be a simple fix any one wanna give me some pointers !!

Well, if you've done it right it sholdn't be reversed, but to correct it you could just multiply the X output by -1, but why not just use the toolbox horizontal slider?

hhhmm tried for the life of me to get it working doing as you said using the animated knob module, the controls are still flipped though !! , i cant use the horizontal fader as i have other graphics apart from the fader in the animation !

Thanks for you help so far....

This question remains unanswered.

It isn't un answered The tooolbox horizontal slider isnt animated and he wanted to use a png strip 😉

Some sliders can not be done by using a background and a handle 🙂

Sorry... I didn't think that through. 😊

...although without rotation, it's hard to see what visual effect an animated strip will get you that you couldn't do with simple horizontal translation.

Well if you wanted to do a horizontal LED bar style slider it easier to animate it in Knobman in two minutes than it is to set up all the needed GUI components to do it natively

I do other stuff too that couldnt be done with the native vector stuff for instance i did a water tank slider that had a wave of water that moved to the right as you moved the slider hahahahaha SIlly but anyway there is some stuff that is better with a png strip
